Good morning, Pat! Re: shooting in NYC – the shooter supposedly left a suicide note about wanting his brain studied for CTE – there was a picture found of him playing football, apparently in Canada – he was angry about football causing all the brain injuries. The NFL had offices in that building but I’m not sure if any of their employees were killed.
Just The News: “A gunman in New York City opened fire inside a skyscraper on Park Avenue on Monday, killing four people including a New York police officer, before allegedly killing himself. One other person was shot and is in critical but stable condition.
New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Monday night confirmed that the suspected “lone gunman” responsible for the shooting has been “neutralized.”
Tisch later identified the suspect as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, who had a Las Vegas address. No motive was immediately clear, but he had a history of mental illness.
“His motives are still under investigation and we are working to understand why he targeted this particular location,” Tisch said in a news conference. “345 Park Avenue is a commercial office building whose tenants include the NFL, Rudin Management, KPMG and Blackstone.”
Tamura allegedly carried an M4 rifle into the building, where he opened fire on people in the lobby before going up to the 33rd floor, where Rudin Management’s office is located. He shot one other person on the 33rd floor before shooting himself.
A senior law enforcement official told Just The News that one of the people who died was an off-duty NYPD officer who was moonlighting as a security officer at the skyscraper. The officer was shot in the back. The officer has been identified as Didarul Islam, but the names of the other victims have not been released so far. However, Tisch said the other victims were another man and two women.
Four other victims are being treated for “minor injuries sustained in their attempts to flee the scene,” Tisch said. New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, both Democrats, have confirmed that they’ve been briefed on the situation.”

Just The News: “Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday announced that the Justice Department (DOJ) has filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg over comments he’s made about the Trump administration.
The judge has overseen multiple Trump administration cases, including the high-profile deportation flights case, where the Trump administration deported suspected members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang to El Salvador. He also oversaw the administration’s Signal chat case in March.
Bondi did not state what comments the complaint was directly related to, but it accuses Boasberg of making “improper public comments” about President Donald Trump and his administration.
“Today at my direction, the [DOJ] filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg for making improper public comments about President Trump and his Administration,” Bondi posted on X. “These comments have undermined the integrity of the judiciary, and we will not stand for that.”
The filing marks the second time the DOJ has made a complaint against a federal judge this year. The department also filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in February, Fox News reported.”

Special Reports: META A.I. (On It’s OWN) Decided Her Content Was Controversial And Alerted Her EMPLOYER!
Super Spreader, 10 hrs ago
“Think twice if you are still interacting within the creepy control grid of META (Facebook). Leave it immediately if you know what is best for you.
When FACEBOOK shows you who they are believe them the first time.
The insanity of expecting the most popular authoritarian surveilance tool to NOT use surveilance to be authoritarian.
Many were warning for YEARS to get off Twitter because they were censoring people. I had very little sympathy for people who got cancelled off of twitter during covid. How could they not have expected this I thought. I figured the whole world already knew that twitter was an immoral censorship machine.
Same thing with “Go Fund Me.” Doesn’t EVERYONE know they will STEAL your funds? Just like they did with the Canadian Trucker Convoy. DO NOT USE IT unless you want your donations confiscated. Certainly that is common knowledge, right?
I guess a lot of people still don’t know. We need to keep sharing these stories to help people wake up and understand.”

🚨Trump’s New Weapon to Slash Spending Without Congress
Trump may have found the ultimate budget kill switch: the pocket rescission.
It’s legal. It’s powerful. And it could gut billions in Deep State pork—without a single vote in Congress.
Let’s break it down 🧵👇Image
2/ 💣 What is a pocket rescission?
It’s a rarely used but fully legal tool that lets the President kill funding without Congress lifting a finger.
Submit a request within 45 days of the fiscal year’s end…
…and if Congress stalls, the money expires. Image
3/ Here’s how it works:
➡️ The funds vanish. Gone. Forever. Image
4/ OMB Director Russ Vought:
“It’s very possible we might use pocket rescissions. It’s one of our executive tools. It’s been used before. And it’s fully legal.”
This is how you defund the swamp without getting bogged down by RINOs or Senate Dems. Image
5/ 🔥 Why now?
Trump already passed a $9B rescission package July 24. But there’s way more to cut.
Congressional gridlock?
Blue-state hostage-taking?
Trump’s saying: fine—then I’ll go around you. Image
6/ Pocket rescissions are a key, fully legal answer to out-of-control spending:
Trump pulls the trigger. Congress stalls.
And the money dies. Image
7/ Why do the Left & Uniparty hate this?
Because it strips them of their favorite weapon:
🤑 Slush funds
🧺 Earmarks
🕳️ Backroom deals
And it lets Trump swing the axe alone. He can’t spend MORE, but he CAN spend LESS. Image
8/ Trump is done asking permission.
He’s using the Constitution, the law, and the tools of the presidency to drain the swamp—whether Congress cooperates or not.
That’s how a CEO runs a country. 💥🇺🇸 Image

Bondi DOJ files complaint alleging misconduct by Federal Judge James Boasberg
Second official complaint against a federal judge since Bondi took office as Attorney General
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bondi-doj-files-complaint-alleging-misconduct-federal-judge-james-boasberg
“The Department of Justice respectfully submits this complaint alleging misconduct by U.S. District Court Chief Judge James E. Boasberg for making improper public comments about President Donald J. Trump to the Chief Justice of the United States and other federal judges that have undermined the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary,” says Mr. Mizelle.
“On March 11, 2025, Judge Boasberg attended a session of the Judicial Conference of the United States, which exists to discuss administrative matters like budgets, security, and facilities. While there, Judge Boasberg attempted to improperly influence Chief Justice Roberts and roughly two dozen other federal judges by straying from the traditional topics to express his belief that the Trump Administration would “disregard rulings of federal courts” and trigger “a constitutional crisis.” Although his comments would be inappropriate even if they had some basis, they were even worse because Judge Boasberg had no basis—the Trump Administration has always complied with all court orders. Nor did Judge Boasberg identify any purported violations of court orders to justify his unprecedented predictions.”

“The Hunted Have Become the Hunters: The Truth is Rising”
Michael T. Flynn LTG USA (RET), Jul 29, 2025
ENTIRE ARTICLE: “After enduring four brutal years of being relentlessly prosecuted, surveilled, slandered, and even shot at, President Trump has returned to finish what he started. His mission remains the same, to Make America Great Again, but to accomplish his goals he must destroy the Deep State.
The American people are now putting on notice those individuals and networks—inside and outside the U.S. government—who participated in what history will remember as an attempted political coup. Accountability is no longer optional, it’s coming and our enemies know it.
A Nation of Laws — Are we currently a nation of laws operating under a constitutional order? Do Americans feel as though we are a republic run by and for the people? Our justice system has been under siege from within. Many Americans, especially conservatives, have become rightfully jaded.
Over the past decade, trust in our institutions has collapsed:
* 20% of Americans trust the federal government to do what is right “most of the time.”
* 26% trust the Department of Justice to be fair and impartial.
* A 2021 Rasmussen poll found that 58% of voters believe there is a “Deep State” secretly influencing federal policy.
For decades, Democrats ran the show, while many Republicans played the role of polite losers in a rigged system, but a new area has arrived. President Trump has been preparing for this moment for years. What you see now is a coordinated, legal, and methodical counteroffensive.
Tulsi Gabbard’s Declassifications: The First Domino — The recent declassifications from DNI Tulsi Gabbard weren’t coincidental. They were a strategic disclosure of evidence and laid the groundwork for follow-on prosecutions. Here’s what those documents confirm:
Barack Obama knew in December 2016 that there was no Russia-Trump collusion. He also knew Hillary Clinton’s campaign was manufacturing the narrative, yet he allowed it to proceed anyway. Why…Because globalism and communism were the end goals. Obama was not just transforming America, he was weaponizing the entire federal government to destroy a duly elected successor.
This wasn’t politics, this was a coup that they nearly got away with.
How Do We Know? Let’s look at five confirmed, documented facts that expose this Deep State playbook:
1. Illegal surveillance of the Trump campaign via FISA warrants—later ruled invalid. The DOJ’s Inspector General found at least 17 significant errors or omissions in the Carter Page FISA applications (Horowitz Report, 2019).
2. Unmasking of Gen. Michael Flynn by dozens of Obama-era officials. According to DNI declassifications, 39 officials made 53 unmasking requests involving Flynn, including Biden and Obama’s Chief of Staff.
3. Despite its unverified status, Senator John McCain hand-delivered the Steele Dossier to James Comey, and it later became the basis for FBI surveillance.
4. AG Bill Barr claimed “no election fraud” within days of the 2020 election despite hundreds of affidavits, video footage, and ongoing court challenges.
5. The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago authorized with “deadly force” authority in the execution order (as confirmed by court filings in 2024).
Why 2020 Was Critical — 2020 wasn’t just about beating Trump, it was about silencing him before he could uncover and expose their crimes. The Deep State’s strategy is to run out the clock since the federal statute of limitations for many offenses is five years.
But there’s one catch: a conspiracy investigation resets the clock and opens up new venues for prosecution. The Deep State’s favorite Washington, D.C. courtrooms can no longer protect this corruption-Florida is now in play and that changes everything.
A New DOJ — A New Battlefield — This marks a new chapter beyond the Barr–Wray–Durham era. The president has appointed a talented team of leaders and assigned them clear responsibilities and expectations to ensure accountability. From the FBI’s new investigations to Tulsi’s precise declassifications, every piece of this operation is moving in sync. You don’t declassify sensitive intel unless ready to act on it. You don’t flip the DOJ unless you plan to prosecute.
This is not the Trump of 2017. This is 2025 Trump, deliberate, battle-tested, and backed by a trusted inner circle. He knows who’s loyal and he knows where to strike.
What’s On the Table? — This battle goes far beyond Russiagate. The scope includes:
● 2020 election interference: A 2022 Rasmussen poll found that 52% of voters believe cheating affected the election’s outcome.
● Mail-in ballot fraud: States like Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia have documented serious ballot chain-of-custody issues. (WI Legislative Audit Bureau, AZ Senate Report)
● Biden’s cognitive decline: Recent NBC polling shows that 68% of Americans have concerns about Biden’s mental and physical fitness to serve.
● COVID deception: Emails from Fauci reveal intentional suppression of lab-leak theories and collusion with Big Tech to silence dissent.
● J6 narrative manipulation: Surveillance footage has been withheld for years, revealing misleading DOJ narratives and possible entrapment.
● Weaponized justice system: In 2023 alone, 91 charges were brought against Donald Trump across four jurisdictions, more than any U.S. President in history.
“This Time, People Have to Pay.” — President Trump recently declared: “I let Hillary go in 2017 to avoid dividing the country, but after what they did to me — right or wrong—people have to pay.”
This time, there will be no passes. If you’ve followed President Trump long enough, you know one thing: He keeps his promises.
The Two-Tiered System Is Ending — The American people are watching. Trust must be restored and justice must be served. The two-tiered system of political protection is collapsing. Justice is no longer reserved for one political party. The two-tiered system is being dismantled.
The Hunted Have Become the Hunters — If you know someone disillusioned, skeptical, silent, or even in panic, send them this article. Remind them: The truth is rising and justice is coming.”

“Russiagate Wouldn’t Have Been Possible Without A Complicit Propaganda Press — The media can’t honestly report on Russiagate because to do so would require acknowledging their role in helping foment the charade.”
The Federalist, By: Shawn Fleetwood, July 29, 2025
ENTIRE ARTICLE: “There’s a good rule of thumb when analyzing any major news story. That is, if the propaganda media are either refusing to cover it and/or downplaying it, there’s a good chance it’s damning to them and their Democrat allies.
That’s been the case these past few weeks, as leftists scramble to bury newly declassified materials showing how the Obama administration manufactured “evidence” to advance the false claim that Russia wanted Donald Trump to win the 2016 election. The records not only expose the intentional manipulation of intelligence to push this baseless conspiracy and the overarching Trump-Russia collusion hoax, but the participation of President Obama and his intel chiefs in fomenting the scheme to delegitimize Trump’s 2016 victory and subsequent presidency.
And how exactly have legacy media “journalists” responded to this enormous scandal? By attempting to discredit it, of course! When Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard disclosed a batch of bombshell documents last week, so-called “news” organizations like CNN, CBS News, NBC News, the Associated Press, and The New York Times rushed to sweep the explosive revelations under the rug. “Move along, folks! There’s nothing to see here,” or so the conventional framing from these outlets went.
While a desire to protect their Democrat allies is certainly part of it, the bigger motivation behind the media’s attempts to cover up the latest Russiagate revelations has to do with the fact that they’ve acted as co-conspirators in the hoax from the very beginning. Put another way, they can’t honestly report on Russiagate because to do so would require acknowledging their role in helping foment the charade.
Consider that these regime propagandists, without a hint of circumspection, leapt at the earliest opportunity to disseminate the phony Trump-Russia allegations on the intel community’s behalf.
Weeks before Trump took office, for example, fake news CNN published an article by Jake Tapper, Evan Perez, Jim Sciutto, and Carl Bernstein on a classified briefing presented to Trump that included “allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.” Americans would later learn this “compromising” information originated from the Steele dossier — a collection of baseless and absurd accusations against Trump that was cobbled together by an opposition research group hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign’s law firm to dig up dirt on Trump.
As The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway previously summarized, “The leak of the briefing of Trump was used to legitimize a ridiculous dossier full of allegations the FBI knew to be false and that multiple news organizations had previously refused to report on for lack of substantiation, and it created a cloud of suspicion over Trump’s incoming administration by insinuating he was being blackmailed by Russia.”
And that was only the beginning. Tapper and Co. would go on to give credence to the phony collusion hoax for years on end, publishing countless articles and “leaks” from the intel community and Democrat congressional staffers seeking to undermine the duly elected president. These efforts included participants like “Fusion” Natasha Bertrand, who was one of many “journalists” more than happy to parrot Russiagate propaganda.
In any given society, the ability of the government to disseminate information to the public is heavily reliant on the press to deliver it to the public. In turn, it’s incumbent upon the media to ensure that such information is accurate, and that whatever is published fits the standards of good journalism.
It’s beyond evident that’s not what happened with the media’s complicity in the Russia collusion hoax. Their willingness to publicize any and all Russiagate leaks with little to no skepticism had one major purpose: To undermine Trump and his presidency.
And by all means, they achieved their goal. Despite being debunked years ago, a poll released earlier this month found that 60 percent of Democrat voters (and 45 percent of moderates) still falsely believe that Trump colluded with Moscow to steal the 2016 contest. That’s a not insignificant percentage of the American electorate whose faith in the democratic process has been compromised because of the media’s damaging Russiagate lies.
While the media may believe silence is the best strategy in attempting to discredit the latest Russiagate news, they could not be more wrong. Their efforts to ignore and/or downplay these bombshells speaks volumes. The more dismissive they get, the more obvious their involvement in the sham becomes.”

EXCERPT: “During an event challenging the idea that “scientific truth is … achieved by consensus,” Food andDrug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary laid out the agency’s goals to promote nutrition over prescription drug use and expressed concern about how politics have affected the scientific community in recent years.
Makary highlighted the FDA’s “effort to Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) through finding “more cures and meaningful treatment for the American public,” during a Wednesday Capitol Hill Lecture event. The MAHA slogan represents an initiative by the Trump administration — pioneered by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — to end chronic diseases and reduce health care spending.
Makary said he’d “like to see more cures” and new treatments for type one diabetes, stage four cancers, PTSD, ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), and Alzheimer’s. He also emphasized the importance of studying the “root causes” to find cures for increasingly common health issues like cancer, obesity, and Alzheimer’s by starting with basic nutrition.
“We have this fixation on drugs,” Makary said. “Maybe we should be funding more school lunch programs and talking about cooking classes instead of just insulin and Ozempic for every six-year-old in America.”
The FDA approved three natural food colors in May, and Makary said they will “probably approve two more in the next couple of months.” In April, the FDA announced “a series of new measures to phase out all petroleum-based synthetic dyes from the nation’s food supply.” In June, Kraft Heinz and General Mills announced steps to eliminate artificial colors from their products.
“We have to think differently and creatively and get beyond this approval process that was designed in the 1960s,” Makary said.
When asked about his thoughts about women being told to take birth control, Makary said, “I worry that young women are never told that these pills increase the risk of benign liver tumors or blood clots.”
“If someone tells you a pill is 100% safe, run for your life,” he said…..”

“Ratcliffe Signals It’s Not Too Late To Prosecute Ongoing Russia Collusion Conspiracy”
The Federalist, By: Jacqueline Annis-Levings, July 28, 2025
ENTIRE ARTICLE: “CIA Director John Ratcliffe indicated that it may not be too late to prosecute players in the Russia collusion hoax on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.
“There is no doubt in my mind that the people that we just talked about conspired. They conspired against President Trump, they conspired against the American people. … I don’t think statute of limitations are going to impact, because in a conspiracy, Maria, the statute of limitation doesn’t start to run out until the last act in furtherance of that conspiracy, and, Maria, part of why this is so important is that the people behind this are still furthering the conspiracy,” Ratcliffe.
He said this in a response to a question about whether the statute of limitations applied to treason charges. Bartiromo also asked about prosecution and accountability for those who have allegedly lied under oath in testimony regarding the Russia collusion hoax, referring to John Brennan, James Comey, and Hillary Clinton, and Ratcliffe pointed to criminal referrals made to the DOJ by himself and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard released documents last week that appear to implicate former President Barack Obama, former DNI James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, former Secretary of State John Kerry, former AG Loretta Lynch, and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe in fabricating and perpetuating the hoax. As The Federalist reported, Gabbard said last week she is referring all the documents to the DOJ to investigate their “criminal implications,” including for Obama.
Ratcliffe referred former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey for prosecution earlier this month. To promote accountability and prevent a hoax like Russiagate from being possible in the future, Ratcliffe plans to release the John Durham Report Classified Annex — documents reportedly demonstrating an “FBI plan” to fuel Steele dossier claims — he said during the show.
“Donald Trump’s election by the American people was a statement,” Ratcliffe said. “They said to everyone, ‘We know what you did to Donald Trump, and we reelected him because we know this was all fake, we know it was a hoax. Now we want to understand how you did it so it can’t happen again.’”

“Oregonians struggling to maintain public access to Pacific Ocean beaches won a decisive battle in 1967 with the passage of legislation commonly known as the Beach Bill, which established public access to Oregon’s beaches from the first dune to the sea.
In the summer of 1966, however William Hay, owner of the Surfsand Motel in Cannon Beach, asserted his property rights. He placed large driftwood logs to block off a section of the dry sand area in front of the motel, setting up umbrellas and tables within the enclosed area and posting private property signs on the perimeter.
Only the wet-sand portion of the state’s beaches had been set aside as a state highway, and many landowners along the coast had deeds with rights to develop the dry-sand areas. According to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, 112 of the 262 miles of beach property were privately owned.
In response, the State Highway Commission, with Governor Tom McCall’s support, introduced HB 1600 and HB 1601 in the 1967 legislature. The bills copied a Texas law that recognized that the public use of private beach land gave the public the permanent right for the continued use of that land.
“Adverse possession” meant that what most Oregonians had believed—that all beachfront property from the first dune to the sea belonged to the public—was actually true because they had exercised that belief for so many years.”

“Yes, according to experts, California’s $20 fast-food wage hike has led to a noticeable decrease in fast-food jobs. A study indicates that 18,000 fast-food jobs were lost since April 2024, representing a 3.2% drop in employment within that sector. This decline is notably steeper compared to job losses in the fast-food industry in other states.
The study, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found a decrease of 18,000 jobs specifically in the fast-food sector in California since April 2024. This job loss translates to a 3.2% decline in employment within California’s fast-food industry.
The report highlights that this decline is significantly larger than the job losses experienced in the fast-food sectors of other states. The wage hike, which raised the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20, went into effect in April 2024.”

“Berlin on alert as forced marriage fears rise with summer holidays: Neukölln district office urges vigilance and early intervention as women’s rights advocate Seyran Ateş links the increase to migration and parallel societies”
ReMIX, Thomas Brookes, July 29, 2025
ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Authorities in Berlin are bracing for a spike in forced marriages as schools break for the summer, a period long associated with such cases. Seyran Ateş, the prominent author and women’s rights advocate, warns that the problem is becoming greater due to mass immigration and the entrenchment of parallel communities within German society.
Ateş expressed concern that hundreds of young people, many of whom are unaware of what awaits them, may be sent abroad to be married against their will. “I fear the numbers will continue to rise,” she told broadcaster RBB, as cited by Junge Freiheit.
She noted that Berlin recorded nearly 500 cases of threatened or completed forced marriage in 2022, and warned that the figure is likely to grow as Germany continues to absorb migrants from Islamic countries with different cultural norms.
“In Germany, we speak of a parallel society of the Muslim community,” Ateş said. Forced marriage, she emphasized, is a mechanism used by “archaic patriarchal societies” to impose religious norms, including the control of female sexuality.
Speaking from her professional experience, Ateş described how often victims are blindsided and powerless, and some are even driven to attempt suicide to escape. Her own experience with the issue turned violent in 1984, when a client of hers was shot during a consultation and she was injured in the attack.
Despite the fact that forced marriage has been a criminal offense in Germany since 2011, fear and family loyalty keep many from coming forward. Ateş believes prevention must begin early: “We need to raise awareness in elementary school. Children have to learn that their parents do not have the right to choose their spouse or dictate who they are allowed to love.”
Officials in Berlin’s Neukölln district are also raising the alarm. A formal statement warned of young people being taken out of the country over the holidays to be married in their parents’ country of origin, sometimes without a clear path to return. “Most of the affected girls and boys grew up in Germany,” the district office noted.
To combat the threat, Neukölln authorities have distributed information to schools, youth centers, and childcare providers ahead of the summer break. The materials include clear instructions on how at-risk individuals can protect themselves: confiding in a trusted adult; leaving behind copies of identification; and carrying essentials such as embassy contacts, cash, and a return ticket. The district also provides downloadable forms to assist with legal recourse and repatriation.
District Mayor Martin Hikel noted, “Forced and early marriages are human rights violations that we do not tolerate. But, we know that they are a reality for Neukölln’s young people.”

Just The News: “United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Tuesday that he is ready to recognize a Palestinian state with France at the United Nations in September.
Starmer said that the UK could recognize Palestine as a state as soon as the UN General Assembly in September, unless Israel takes “substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza,” The Times reported.
The prime minister’s office said in a statement that Starmer “said that because of the increasingly intolerable situation in Gaza and the diminishing prospect of a peace process towards a two-state solution, now was the right time to move this position forward.
“He said that the UK will recognise the state of Palestine in September, before UNGA, unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, reaches a ceasefire, makes clear there will be no annexation in the West Bank, and commits to a long-term peace process that delivers a two-state solution,” the statement continued.
“He reiterated that there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas and that our demands on Hamas remain, that they must release all the hostages, sign up to a ceasefire, accept that they will play no role in the government of Gaza, and disarm.”
A third of Labour Party members of parliament and Starmer’s Cabinet members have been pushing for the immediate recognition of Palestine. Starmer recalled his Cabinet from the summer parliamentary recess to discuss aid to Gaza and state recognition at 2 p.m. on Tuesday. His spokesman said earlier that the plan will come later this week and would build “on the collaboration to date that paves the way to a long-term solution on security in the region.”
“The Prime Minister will be presenting that plan to other key allies, including the US and Arab states, over the coming days, and indeed convening Cabinet this week. You can expect to see more coming out of that,” the spokesman added.
The U.S. State Department on Monday condemned a United Nations conference on a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, deeming it “unproductive and ill-timed” amid ongoing efforts to end the fighting in Gaza. This occurred the same day that President Trump was asked about the UK parliament last week calling for the immediate recognition of a Palestinian state. “I’m not going to take a position, I don’t mind him [the prime minister] taking a position. I’m looking for getting people fed right now,” Trump said.
French President Emmanuel Macron is planning to recognize Palestine as a state.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized Macron’s decision on Thursday, calling it “reckless,” adding that it “only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace.”

Phew! Finally! I am scheduled for the cardiogram this Friday @ 11 am at the hospital in Norfolk. I got a call from the Norfolk VA while I was on the phone with the hospital so I sent it to VM – it was a msg. saying that they had gotten the appropriate order sent so I could schedule it, which I was in the process of doing. Odd timing!
I was hoping it would be sooner than that but, apparently, it must not be urgent. I ordered an OTC diuretic from Amazon that will be delivered tomorrow – maybe that will help with some of the fluid build-up. It’s gotten so bad now, pants that used to be loose on me fit really tight. The skin on my right leg is so tight I’ve actually wondered if it might split open….that is a huge weight off my mind!!!

“More PsyWarL The worm is turning, and the propagandists are facing setbacks on multiple fronts”
Robert W Malone MD, MS, Jul 29, 2025
EXCERPT: “Today’s essay provides brief reviews of two recent books that I recommend for your reading pleasure, links to two important recent “insider’ substack essays, and some updates concerning the ongoing PsyWar campaigns designed to divide the Make America Healthy Again movement.
MAHA is increasingly acknowledged as the most significant contemporary US political movement. Those industries, cabals, trade organizations (particularly corporate political action committees), and Medical guilds (AMA, AAP, etc.) that are at risk for losing revenue, stock value, power, and status from the coming policy changes are not going to take this lying down.”
